Abstract: A description is given of a precision resistor. The resistor comprises a substrate having two connections which are electrically interconnected  via  a resistance path, said resistance path comprising a first path portion having a positive TCR and a second path portion having a negative TCR. The resistor is characterized in that the resistance material of both path portions is selected so that the resistance values and the absolute TCRs of both path portions are comparable and in that both path portions are trimmed so that the resistor has desired resistance and TCR values. Preferably, the resistance materials used for the path portions consist of an alloy of substantially the same composition on the basis of CuNi or NiCrAl. The invention makes it possible to very accurately and reproducibly mass-produce precision resistors.

Abstract: A nozzle 24, 34 for joining a pool 18, 28 of water to a nuclear reactor pressure vessel 10 includes a tubular body 38 having a proximal end 42 joinable to the pressure vessel 10 and a distal end 44 joinable in flow communication with the pool. The body 38 includes a flow passage 46 therethrough having in serial flow communication a first port 48 at the distal end 44, a throat 50 spaced axially from the first port 48, a conical channel 52 extending axially from the throat 50, and a second port 54 at the proximal end 42 which is joinable in flow communication with the pressure vessel 10. The inner diameter of the flow passage 46 decreases from the first port 48 to the throat 50 and then increases along the conical channel 52 to the second port 54. In this way, the conical channel 52 acts as a diverging channel or diffuser in the forward flow direction from the first port 48 to the second port 54 for recovering pressure due to the flow restriction provided by the throat 50. In the backflow direction from the second port 54 to the first port 48, the conical channel 52 is a converging channel and with the abrupt increase in flow area from the throat 50 to the first port 48 collectively increase resistance to flow therethrough.

Abstract: Cold pressurized pure inert gas (e.g. argon or nitrogen) is delivered to an air bag (1) with the addition of mechanical energy to aid in filling the bag (1) by an inflator (10) comprising a high strength container (12) or bottle having a cylindrical section (16) that is filled with inert gas. A piston (18) is located at one end (20) of the cylindrical section (16) with a high energy pyrotechnic material (24) behind it. Both sides of the piston (18) are at the same pressure during storage. An initiator (26) is located in the high energy pyrotechnic material. A burst disk (32) is located at the opposite end of the cylindrical section (16). When the initiator (26) is fired, the piston (18) is driven down the length of the cylindrical section (16). When the pressure in the container (12) exceeds the burst disk strength, the inert gas expands into the air bag (1) or apparatus needing to be filled.

Abstract: System and method for combining, within a transmitter, each block of a digital signal to be transmitted with a sample originating from a pseudo-random generator operating at low frequency. The results of the various combinations are converted into orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal sequences, modulated and transmitted to the receiver. The receiver performs demodulation of the signal received and combines each sequence with a sample identical to that used for the low-frequency coding within the transmitter in order to reconstitute the various blocks. Makes it possible to carry out low-frequency spectral spreading of a signal to be transmitted. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un système de production sert à mouler automatiquement des corps creux, en particulier en béton dans un moule, qui comprend un moule interne (2), un moule externe (1), un anneau inférieur (3) et un anneau supérieur (4). Des anneaux supérieurs amovibles (4) sont utilisés pour la production, qui restent à l'extrémité supérieure du tube jusqu'à ce que le ciment ait durci suffisamment pour s'assurer de ce que la forme et les tolérances de l'extrémité supérieure sont conservées après le moulage. Le système comprend en outre un appareillage de serrage (15) pour maintenir l'anneau supérieur en place durant le moulage. L'appareil de serrage est pourvu d'un moyen de serrage comprenant un tube flexible annulaire et une rondelle ressort fondue. Lorsque le tube flexible est alimenté avec de l'air comprimé d'une source d'air comprimé, cela provoque le serrage de la rondelle ressort autour d'un anneau de serrage sur l'anneau supérieur.

Abstract: Current sterilization processes employing gas or vapour sterilizing media use sterilizing media whose composition is subject to fluctuations, which are attributable to the degree of filling of the sterilizer and/or atmospheric influences. In the process as per the invention the composition of the sterilizing medium is free of these influences because in a preceding step the carrier gas needed to constitute the sterilizing medium is conditioned for temperature and/or moisture and then in a succeeding step is brought into contact with an active agent to be loaded with it and thereupon is fed into a sterilization chamber. The sterilization process is particularly well suited for attaining constant and reproducible sterilization results, irrespective of atmospheric changes especially.

Abstract: Système de télécommunications utilisant une méthode de signalisation par bit additionnel et appareil transmettant des signaux entre une station centrale (300) et plusieurs stations éloignées (500) par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau passif de distribution. Dans la présente invention un bit additionnel (NB) marqué par une séquence identifiable de données est ajouté à chacun des canaux à l'intérieur d'une succession de trames. La présente invention ajoute donc une suite de bits additionnels à chacun des canaux de sorte que chacun des échantillons de canaux porte son propre signal de verrouillage de multitrame. Les stations éloignées détectent les bits additionnels pour localiser les signaux de verrouillage de multitrame et identifier les intervalles de temps propres à chaque trame. Le bit additionnel peut de plus servir pour une signalisation hors bande ou constituer un canal additionnel de transmission de données.

Title: Cardiac pacemaker with programmable output pulse amplitude
Inventor: SHELTON MICHAEL B
IPC: A61N1/378
Filed: 1994-05-10
Abstract: An implantable cardiac pacemaker having programmable stimulating pulse amplitudes selectable by means of an external programming unit. The pacemaker includes charge pump circuitry for developing a stimulating pulse voltage on an output capacitor. The output capacitor is charged to a selected level identified by a multiple-bit amplitude value communicated to the implanted device from the external programmer. The pacemaker is also provided with circuitry for monitoring the depletion level of its battery and for generating an indicator signal when the battery has depleted beyond a predetermined level. Associated with the charge pump circuitry is a selectively activated comparator circuit for controlling the charging of the output capacitor. Prior to generation of the indicator signal, the charge pump circuitry remains deactivated for some programmed output amplitudes, the level of output capacitor charging being proportional to the battery voltage. After issuance of the indicator signal, the comparator circuit is activated to control the charging of the output capacitor. When the comparator circuit is activated for charging the capacitor, the resulting voltage established on the capacitor is proportional to a predetermined constant reference voltage. Longevity of the device is optimized by not activating the comparator circuit during early stages of battery depletion when the battery's output voltage is relatively stable.

Abstract: The process uses part of the heat energy contained in the exhaust gases of a working stroke (2) and the engine block, to evaporate a fluid. This is injected into the combustion chamber and the exhaust gases, before a second working stroke (4) commences.

After the first working stroke, and before ejection, the exhaust gases are compressed a second time, and the fluid is injected at the moment of maximum compression.
